Harper Adams University

With its Hands Free Hectare project, Harper Adams University has shown that it is possible to grow a barley crop without a single person being physically present in the field. It impressed the judges as a successful example of sustainability-enhancing “robotic agriculture” and a model of thriving university-business collaboration.

Supported by Innovate UK, researchers worked with Yorkshire business Precision Decisions to create an agricultural system that employed autonomous vehicles and drones along with a wind-based micro-energy installation to run on-site computing equipment.

The aim of Hands Free Hectare was to put robotic agriculture, long discussed, into practice.

The world-first project attracted interest from around the globe, including coverage in Nature and on BBC One’s The One Show . UK government officials took notice, and project leaders reported on the system at conferences as far afield as India. The project proposal was presented as part of researchers’ evidence to a House of Lords committee that autonomous vehicles could help to make crop production systems more efficient and sustainable.

The barley crop was harvested in late summer 2017 – and the grain has been made into an exclusive gin, with a beer to follow.

The judges said that Hands Free Hectare represented a “step change in agricultural practice that demonstrated how technology could be used to benefit humankind. It united established technical concepts for a successful pilot of robotic agriculture. The panel was impressed by the application and by its potential global impact.”

If you already have a VR spreader or sprayer the N-Sensor is a proven way to increase yields, reduce lodging, increase combine efficiency, improve nutrient use efficiency, gross margins and profitability. With its unique sensing technology, the N-Sensor provides a flexible variable nitrogen recommendation system with rigorous and dependable agronomics, while the N-Sensor’s additional capabilities make it an invaluable tool for the precision farmer.

The Hands Free Hectare team has successfully harvested the world’s first winter wheat crop to be grown by robots.

The project, which first set out to grow and harvest a spring barley crop in 2017 entirely by autonomous machines, has taken huge strides forward in accuracy during its second season with a winter wheat crop.

The team at Harper Adams University and Precision Decisions expect the field of milling wheat Zyatt to yield about 7t/ha after drilling misses were reduced from 2.5% last year to just 0.35%.

Quality is also good with 12.4% protein, specific weights of 73.6kg/hl and a Hagberg of 316.

Watch our full video report and read on below: Click the image or link.

Better spray coverage and fertiliser applications achieved a pretty even crop, but timings did suffer due to inclement weather both last autumn and this spring.

Drilling had to be abandoned for 10 days in November, the T0 fungicide was delayed and there was a nearly six-week gap between T1 and T2 timings. Despite this, Hutchinsons’ agronomist Kieran Walsh said the crop was quite clean.

Mr Walsh was aided in making his agronomy decisions remotely from Cirencester by the addition of septoria spore traps and weather stations.

“Growing a winter wheat brought new challenges, such as how do we manage septoria?” he said.

“The spore traps from Bayer are still in development, and while we didn’t have them 24 hours a day, they came in at key timings. For septoria we needed everything we could get to help.”

The team also managed to unload the combine on the move for the first time during harvest on Tuesday (14 August).

New systems

Robotics engineer Jonathan Gill said: “It’s been an interesting year. We chopped to a new system half-way through as we came to spray in early June and the vehicle wasn’t acting as we had hoped.

“The tractor is now on a new system with line capability. It can drive within 5cm of a straight line.

“We are super chuffed to get something different working and it’s nice to know that we don’t have to go down just one avenue.”

With harvest complete the team is already looking to the future. They hope to be ready to grow between 30-40ha of crops in the 2020 growing season.

In the meantime the team plans to explore the challenges brought about by increasing numbers of autonomous machines working together in teams.

Two other projects are being worked on in preparation for the Hands Free Farm. The university is acting as a testbed for 5G mobile signals, which will allow better data transfer for rural communities.

It will also mean the computers controlling the machines will not need to be installed on-board, reducing the cost of the technology.

The team is also looking at how to get the machines to navigate other environments autonomously, to allow them to get from garage to field without human intervention.

“We don’t know how to solve that yet. It could be a mixture of GPS and motion sensors to detect obstacles like fallen trees or animals,” Mr Gill said.

The Soil Sampling season has started, take advantage of our great offer on Basic sampling.

At only £20.00 per sample taken (Basic P,K,Mg and pH) this is a great offer if you place an order for a minimum of 50ha (50 samples) or more between the 15th of August and the 15th of October.

MiFarm is a multilayer farm management platform allowing you to do much more than just order your soil sampling. MiFarm users are also able to oredr two FREE sets of variability imagery of your entire farm per year.

​Hands Free Hectare project scoops BBC Food and Farming Award

Hands Free Hectare and Precision Decisions team at the BBC Farming Today awards.

The Hands Free Hectare (HFH) project, run by Harper Adams University and Precision Decisions, has won the Future Food Award at the BBC’s Food and Farming Awards ceremony which was held in Bristol on trhe 13th of July.
Last year the world-first project drilled, tended and harvested a crop of spring barley without operators on the machines or agronomists in the field. This year the team are growing a hectare of winter wheat, thanks to AHDB funding.
The project was demonstrated for the first time away from the university campus earlier that day at Cereals 2018, near Cambridge. The combine’s demonstration, held in the afternoon, was a great success and received a fantastic reaction from the audience.
Project Lead and Harper Adams Agricultural Engineering Lecturer Kit Franklin said: “It was a race to get from Cambridge to Bristol in time for the awards ceremony.
“We left Cereals on a high after our combine performed so well, but then the nerves started to kick-in while we were waiting for the winner of our category to be announced.
“It’s an amazing feeling to have won this award, especially with Alex James, who was helping to present the awards, commenting on how cool the project is.

“Who would have thought mine and Jonathan Gill’s idea, written originally on a post-it note, would get this far.”
Director of Precision Decisions, Clive Blacker said: “It’s fantastic that the project has earned this level of recognition. In the past year it has gained global publicity and the team have spoken at a number of conferences around the world, but for it to now be an award-winning project puts the cherry on the cake.
“It’s a true testament to the team’s work that has gone into this world-first project. It was amazing to have won the award after the successful demonstration at Cereals; the first away from the university.”
The project to farm a hectare of spring barley exclusively with autonomous vehicles at Harper Adams University completed successfully.

On why this project is important, Kit Franklin said”Automation is the future of farming. We’re currently at a stage where farm machinery has got to unsustainable sizes.”

The project to farm a hectare of spring barley exclusively with autonomous vehicles at Harper Adams University has been successfully completed and is being extended into a second year.

The ‘Hands Free Hectare’ project, saw a crop exclusively farmed by robots for the first time in the world, the team having already selected the key machinery required to reach their goal.

Jonathan Gill, researcher at Harper Adams University, said: “We’ve created a prototype and tested the automation system on an electric all-terrain vehicle in the field. We’ve proved that it can drive up and down in a consistent straight line; this is what we aimed to have achieved during our first task of planting the crop.”

The next step was to incorporate this system onto the Iseki tractor that was used by the team for drilling and spraying.

Jonathan added: “The project, and engineering as a whole, comes down to specifications and this is definitely true with this project. The requirements of the entire system need to account for the crop row spacing, even the shape of the field, to coordinate with the tractor and machinery available.”

Our Combine on the plot at Cereals 2018 show.

Martin Abell, from Precision Decisions, the project’s industry partner, said: “The selection process has been very important and time consuming.”

“The drill that we used is a vineyard drill which is normally used to add green manure (cover crops) between vines to help the soil retain nutrients. The coulters and seed metering mechanism are identical to those used on conventional versions of the drill and so it suits our application perfectly.”

“The spray system that we’ve selected is not only appropriate for the tractor, giving sufficient capacity to cover the area, but also works with common agricultural practices. ”

“We used a conventional sprayer controller, the same system that can be bought by a farmer. This means the sprayer will be a self-contained unit, looking after itself while the tractor navigates the hectare.”

Fully kitted Iseki Tractor.

“We’ve also turned our attention to safety. It is incredibly important that we have safety systems enabled in the unlikely situation that something goes wrong. The machines were not radio-controlled but act autonomously. We’ve found laser scanners which will monitor the front of the tractor and stop it should anything be too close.

“It’s been a challenge to find systems that work with our vehicles in conditions that robots aren’t normally put in. For example, actuators supplied by Linak, help to control the transmission and other functions in tough environments.”

The team created a mission control. This provided a platform to see the field in real-time and supplement feedback from the robots whilst working.

Due to the popularity of the project, the engineering department helped the project by providing a camera that was fixed to the outside of mission control. Here they provided a ‘live-stream’ of important events in the field.

Jonathan commented: “We’ve had more in-kind sponsors join the project since we started They are very excited to be a part of this project and have been incredibly generous. We’re very thankful for their help.”

The project’s main partner is Precision Decisions Ltd. Clive Blacker, managing director and Hands Free Hectare project lead said: ?The opportunity to convert our current experience of autosteer and precision agronomy solutions and embark on an autonomous solution is very exciting.

“Automation undoubtedly will become a large part of agriculture?s future. By working with Harper Adams, the leading global centre for agricultural robotic research, this

allows us to understand the challenges autonomous solutions bring and to develop new tools and services from this opportunity.”

“What we learn from this experience is fundamental in allowing us to fulfil the needs of tomorrow`s farmer, to fully embrace the digital revolution we face today.”

The ground-breaking Hands Free Hectare (HFHa) project, run by Harper Adams University and Precision Decisions, which was the first in the world to plant, tend and harvest a crop with only autonomous vehicles and drones, is coming to Cereals.

Martin Abell from Precision Decisions in the HFH Control Room

The team have a plot of winter barley in the agronomy area of the show, where they plan to run demonstrations of their machinery on both days of the event.

At their hectare, at Harper Adams, the team are ready for the second round of the project, with their second crop (winter wheat) in the ground. Team member Martin Abell said: “We’re returning, thanks to funding from the AHDB and the continued support from our industry sponsors, to try and increase the yield through increasing accuracy of our machinery and improved remote agronomy. We’re trying to push for a more competitive yield compared to what you see on the AHDB recommended lists and all other trials data available.”

Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Greg Clark speech at the NFU conference.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It’s great to be with you today. Thank you for inviting me.

It is a great honour to be here for the first time at a National Farmers Union (NFU) Conference.

As someone who has known all my life that farming is foundational not just to our economy, but to our country, it is a particular privilege to be here.

Providing the food and drink we live on and stewarding the countryside that is so much part of our national and local identity means there is no more essential industry.

As Guy said, I was born and raised in the food and drink business with my father and grandfather’s retail dairy delivery round supplying our neighbours in Middlesbrough with fresh Yorkshire milk seven days a week.

When I talk about agriculture as an ‘industry’ that’s not to ignore the fact that farming and growing is more than just a sector of the economy. It’s a life. And its all-consuming.

I was glancing through Farmers Weekly before Christmas and there was an interview with a young farmer from Wales called Tom Parry.

The journalist asked him: “If you won the lottery… what’s the first thing you would spend the money on?”

His reply? “More sheep.” But food and farming is an industry nonetheless and as Guy alluded to before, it’s one of our greatest.

The agricultural sector is the biggest manufacturing sector in the UK. Employing almost four million people and larger than the automotive and aerospace sectors combined.

And what that means in my view is that it deserves the same seriousness of engagement with all parts of government about the future that other successful industries like aerospace, automotive can count on, like life sciences and financial services expect to get with government.

And for your unique role in stewardship and in feeding the nation, like any industry, you need to be profitable and we need to help make sure the right conditions exist right for investment in the future.

Now, of course, you have a government department dedicated to farming and rural affairs and it is headed by one of the most innovative and effective Secretaries of State in government.

But I’m determined, with Michael, that you should participate fully just as other industries do in the work that is being done by the whole of government.

Including my department, the Business Department, as we work together to make Britain more prosperous in the future.

I think we need to do a better job in emphasising the centrality of agriculture to our economy and to our economic future.

If proof were needed of that, it can be found in the most recent agricultural exhibition in the London Science Museum.

This started off with farming in the Iron Age and ended somewhere around 1952. 1952?

That’s 15 years before I was even born. Imagine if the space exhibition ended in 1952. You’d miss all the good stuff.

No moon landings. No space shuttle. No International Space Station. It’s the same with farming.

So it’s fantastic that the Science Museum is planning a new £3 million exhibition to show the real face of modern British agriculture to the whole country and especially to the rising generation of people who may not have the knowledge or experience of agriculture, which should open later this year.

I don’t know who farming’s Tim Peake is but it’s very important that the place of this industry at the forefront of innovation should be there.

Because this is one of the most innovative of our industries and we need to ensure that the next generation need to see the opportunities for earning and advancement there are in a career in food and farming.

And I think it is also important that other industries need to see that agriculture is a source of ideas that can drive new ways of working and using technology in their own sectors.

There is a great translation and diffusion of learning across adjacent industrial sectors and I think we underplay the opportunities from the innovations that you have made into other industrial sectors.

That’s why I was determined to place food and farming at the heart of our Industrial Strategy, both for this sector and because of the relevance to sectors across the economy.

And why I’m so thrilled with the contribution and enthusiasm of so many people in this room. Of course the NFU, to the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), the Food and Drink Federation and so many others.

The challenge for our Industrial Strategy is the same challenge for this sector. How can we become more productive and so more prosperous.

I want to commend the excellent work that Tom Hind of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) has been carrying out on productivity in this sector. It has uncovered that since the mid-1990s productivity growth in agriculture and horticulture has fallen behind our principal competitors.

In fact, it has grown at just one-third of the rate enjoyed by the Netherlands and the USA. Relatively slow growth in productivity in recent years has characterised much of the British economy.

The Industrial Strategy set out a number of ways in which with a sustained national effort we can improve productivity.

It seems to me they are relevant to this industry as much as others.

The first is innovation.

This is one of the most innovative sectors of our economy and the advantages of bringing together our best scientists with our most forward-thinking producers, is clear.

I think most people would agree that the agri-tech strategy which launched five years ago has proved a success.

The Catalyst, for example has helped fund projects fighting diseases in pigs, rearing lobsters off the Cornish coast and improving the efficiency of Strawberry production, to name but a few.

But there is great potential for much more and so the Industrial Strategy commits to the biggest ever increase in public research and development investment. An extra £3 billion a year by 2021.

It brings in a focus on four Grand Challenges, technological changes sweeping across the world in which Britain has a leading position.

I am committed to making sure that agriculture plays a big role in many of these.

One of these is Artificial Intelligence and the analysis of big data.

Intelligent algorithms using data on atmospheric conditions and soil moisture has the real potential to dramatically reduce, for example the water needed for agriculture.

Michael Gove and I have agreed that agricultural technology will be one of the priority sectors for the new Office of Artificial Intelligence announced in our Industrial Strategy.

Through our Grand Challenges on the future of mobility, we know right around the world the way we are transporting ourselves, the way vehicles are powered and how we are connecting ourselves is changing, and we want to make Britain the go-to place in the world for the development of new autonomous vehicles.

I am determined this won’t just be the vehicles you see on our road, and that agriculture will be a big part of that.

Through the Hands-Free Hectare project Harper Adams University and York-based company Precision Decisions are planting, tending and harvesting crops using only autonomous vehicles and drones

This project was funded through Innovate UK and was the first in the world to farm a crop in this way.

So I have insisted that our Connected and Autonomous Vehicles programme is making funding available to off-road driverless innovation, with a particular application to agriculture.

And yet another challenge – in this country – we’ve often been better at the invention and discovery of new ways of doing things that the implementation of them.

The AHDB was right in saying we need to put an increased emphasis on the ‘D’ in R&D, the development half of research and development.

As part of the Industrial Strategy, we announced a Transforming Food Production Challenge. And I’m delighted to announce today that the government will invest £90 million to make this challenge a reality.

It will include the creation of ‘Translation Hubs’ bringing together farmers and growers, businesses, scientists, and Centres for Agricultural Innovation, to apply the latest research to farming practice.

It should be a big boost to the knowledge exchange that already takes place across food and farming. And with the technological revolution that is happening the skills of the farming workforce need to keep pace.

New technologies require new abilities. Today’s modern British farmer is a Swiss-Army-Knife of skills.

An engineer, an environmentalist, a data scientist, a biochemist, often an energy producer, a tourism entrepreneur, and always an investor too. All of these skills are essential to the jobs that you do.

Yet at the moment, we under-invest in skills and training relative to many of our competitor countries.

And if we are to take advantage of the productivity improvements that technology offers we need to have tailored programmes of skills, education and training to meet the needs of sectors, as well as more farmer-to-farmer learning, to demonstrate what works in practice.

The Industrial Strategy emphasises new T-Levels which will provide an important opportunity for a new generation to start their careers in agriculture with relevant skills and we will work closely with the NFU to make them effective.

Apprenticeships will be a crucial part of this. And our reforms to apprenticeships are intended to present high quality opportunities for individuals and employers alike.

These reforms are some of the most substantial the government has ever made. But they are still young, and we are listening to feedback as the programme develops.

I also hear loud and clear, the challenges you are experiencing in your workforce currently.

As a West Kent MP, the Hoppers huts that can still be found in the fields around our coasts are a reminder that agriculture has always relied on seasonal workers whether from home or abroad.

In particular, two-thirds of your workers born outside of the UK come from the EU. This is an absolutely crucial component that I know Michael Gove touched on yesterday.

And as we move to a new relationship with the EU it is essential that you can get the workers you need.

‘A secure supply of skilled and seasonal labour’, is one of eight priority areas for our new Food and Drink Sector Council that has been created as part of our Industrial Strategy.

That clear focus and commitment to make sure you get what you need to do the important job that you have, is vital. And the purpose of forming the Council is to not just talk about the issues, but to act on its advice.Upgrading our infrastructure is another way in which we can help improve productivity and as Guy mentioned earlier, I cannot recall an occasion on which I met the NFU branch in which the need for considerably better broadband and mobile coverage was not top of the list of improvements required.

Michael was emphatic on it yesterday and I completely share his view. The imperative becomes even more pressing because many of the technologies that can transform agricultural productivity and things like Artificial Intelligence rely on the fast transformation of large quantities of data. It is becoming more important than ever.

The Industrial Strategy commits an extra £200 million of investment in the Local Full-Fibre Networks Programme. As Michael said yesterday, 95% of the UK population can now access superfast broadband, a target which was reached last December.

As is evidence, there is much further to go, including making super fast high-speed broadband a legal right to everyone.

There is perhaps no industry in Britain in which local industry and the distinctiveness that one place has from another is as intrinsic as in farming.My longstanding view is that government policy has been too uniform in failing to take opportunities to recognise that what is needed for a northern city or a place like Birmingham to maximise its potential will be very different for a rural county.

And around the world, we see that one of the most successful ways in which productivity grows is through clusters of adjacent businesses with particular local relevance each reinforcing the other.

We see it all, from life sciences in Cambridge to elite motor manufacturing in Northamptonshire. Successful clusters attract ambitious followers creating expertise and jobs.

Through institutes such as FERA outside York, which I know very well, to the Wellcome Trust’s Sanger Institute outside Cambridge, I think there are huge opportunities to gather businesses that can make the most of the proximity of our resources.

A big part of our Industrial Strategy is to do what I know virtually everyone in this room does, and be leaders and participants in their local economies and to give more power to invest locally in other sectors and other industries, helping make the most of local opportunities.

Finally, strengthening relationships are vital if we are to capitalise on the individual strengths of the sector.

Food and farming has always been a diverse and some would say fragmented, sector. But that is not to say that the opportunities that come from working together don’t exist. In fact I think they are more plentiful in this sector than many others.

The supply chain from farm to fork and indeed into farms is a crucial source of quality competitiveness and innovation.

Fragmentation compared to other sectors simply emphasises the need to make a deliberate effort to come together effectively.

That’s why I’m delighted that the new Food and Drink Sector Council met for the first time last month. I know Michael Gove spoke about this yesterday.

It brings together government departments, farmers and growers, food and drink manufacturers the logistics industry, hospitality industry, retailers and others with a stake in a flourishing sector.

I’d like to thank Sir Peter Kendall for representing the voice of farmers on the Council and its working groups.

One of the Council’s early tasks is to propose a Sector Deal to drive forward each aspect of the Industrial Strategy as it reflects food and drink: innovation, skills, infrastructure investment, building up local strengths and getting the right business environment for start-ups and for growing businesses. Each one of these pillars of our Industrial Strategy, I’m absolutely determined will apply to the food and drink sector and should be represented in a strong and ambitious Sector Deal.

I take it personally. Michael Gove and I will jointly lead for the government on negotiating this deal. I want this to be a totemic deal that shows to sectors that perhaps have not considered food and farming and agriculture to be part of the economic future of our country, in the way that it so clearly is.

And I hope it will be a beacon to the British industry and the rest of the world that British agriculture is mustering its considerable strength to seize the opportunities before us.

So ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for inviting me to be with you today.

When I first set to thinking about the Industrial Strategy I had a clear vision that this strategy must be for the whole of our economy and for the whole of Britain. And so agriculture one of our largest and most innovation-rich industries had to be at the heart of it.

I am so thrilled at the positive response that it has received from farmers, growers and those engaged in food production.

And whether it is spreading innovation or building a workforce with the skills of the future. These are vital steps. Not all these steps can be taken all of them overnight.

A short term strategy, after all, is a contradiction in terms.

But I strongly believe that by acting deliberately now we can act together to create the future of farming.

“Technology needs to be marketed as a tool rather than a toy if it’s to be widely adopted,” said delegate Craig Patrick, from Precision Decisions, at BBSRC’s first ever innovation hub, one of the fringe events at this year’s Oxford Farming Conference.

“The Innovation Hub has been so interesting and you take much more away than if you were listening to presentation after presentation. It’s great to talk to the experts directly.

The in-field technology such as the precision data for animal health from Nottingham University and the black grass testing from Newcastle University is really interesting and what is probably the most likely to be adopted by farmers. Through my work I see farmers every day up and down the country, and I think it’s all about the marketing, and they need to see that these are valuable tools that can improve their businesses rather than extravagant toys.”

Leading investor in bioscience research, infrastructure and training, BBSRC launched its first-ever Innovation Hub at this year’s Oxford Farming Conference. The new format, which included a presentation introducing the technology follo

Craig Patrick of Precision Decisions Ltd

wed by the opportunity to circulate information stands and talk directly with the experts proved a successful formula, was designed to engage frontline innovative farmers with the technologies available in agriculture in a more interactive way. It drew a full and enthusiastic crowd, and there was a noisy buzz of information exchange both from the experts who had stands and between delegates networking.

Professor Melanie Welham, Chief Executive of BBSRC, explained “We have created the innovation hub format in order to raise awareness of bioscience and new technologies, and the impact they can have on farming, in a more engaging way. Climate and economics are constantly changing. We can’t just keep on growing more food, we need to use technology to progress, and the Oxford Farming Conference is a great place to capture the first innovators and take this technology forward. The noise in here I think says it all, and it’s great to see so many people talking both with each other and surrounding the stalls talking with the experts”.

Delegates could speak to research specialists on animal nutrition and health, sustainable agricultural systems, food safety and nutrition, and exploiting genomics. Felix Hollman, who travelled from Germany as a DLG scholar, said:

“You know that this technology and research has been selected to be here, which immediately gives it credibility. I have found the networking the most valuable, the discussion around the topic and hearing often similar view points from people working in very different markets.”

Freddie Reed, from Agri-Epi, who hosted one of the information stands, said “It’s been a wonderful opportunity to be speaking directly to a farmer audience, as much of our work is via agribusiness. It’s worked really well, and I look forward to working with some of the people I have spoken to today”.
